Alexander Bradford – Pupil

Introduction

Alexander Bradford is undertaking a specialist Business and Property pupillage under the supervision of Ali Tabari, Simon Clegg, Kirsty White, John Aldis and Gavin McLeod.

Alexander assisted with various commercial, insolvency, property and contentious probate matters, including by drafting pleadings, skeleton arguments and advices, conducting legal research, and preparing cross-examination.

Before coming to the Bar, Alexander read law at Queen Mary University of London and spent a year abroad studying international law at the University of Leuven, Belgium. Alexander then worked as a paralegal, initially in boutique solicitors’ firms in the City of London, acting for entrepreneurs, consumers and small businesses. He subsequently paralegalled in-house at Barclays (on secondment from Pinsent Masons), where he managed a regulatory and compliance project for the bank, and Sainsbury’s, where he acted for Sainsbury’s Supermarkets and Argos in consumer disputes, managed his own caseload, and provided representation in court.

Alexander reached the semi-final of the Middle Temple (Rosamund Smith) Mooting Cup in 2020 and, during his year abroad, undertook advocacy training and a mock trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague.

In his spare time, Alexander enjoys gaming, beach holidays, desserts and afternoon tea. He spent several years co-authoring a responsible gambling blog which gave insights on house edges, betting systems, gaming law, and other aspects of the gambling industry.

Alexander will be on his feet and accepting instructions from 2 April 2024.
